After a massive hit with 1988's M1, Korg released a succession of these increasingly sophisticated 'complete studio' instruments, the culmination of which has been the mighty Triton workstation. This is Korg's most powerful packaging of sequencer, synthesizer, sampler and effects unit, with expandability options, superb factory sounds, and more depth than Stephen Hawking in a mineshaft. Korg made few compromises with the Triton, and its price tag reflected that. Over a year later, they followed it up with a rack version, which offered greater expandability and digital connectivity. Now, another year on, the Triton Le is upon us. This re?instates the keyboard?based format, but retails for around ?700 less than the original (in the UK, at least — in the USA the price for the Le has yet to be fixed at the time of going to press). Since the rack has a slightly different feature?set (eg. digital output, mLAN connectvity, eight expansion slots), I'll keep things simple by concentrating mainly on the differences between the two keyboards. Thus, if I refer back to 'Triton' in my comparisons, it's the original Triton keyboard I mean. Part of this can be attributed to the external power supply: a little box complete with a switch and a four?pin connector. It seems strange to have a switch on a floor?based adaptor, especially when the synth itself already has a power button. Surely it's just another thing to get trodden on and accidentally switched off, in the chaos of live performance? The velocity? and aftertouch?sensitive keyboard feels light and is not as substantial as that of the Triton. Yet, overall, I couldn't fail to admire the Le's style: sleek and chic are descriptions that came to mind. The brushed silver metal finish exudes a feeling of cool quality, and only those plastic edges lower the tone slightly. Four Banks of Programs (A?D) plus a GM sound set. Three Banks of Combinations (A?C). 62?note polyphony. 64Mb maximum sample RAM. 32Mb of waveform ROM. 200,000?note sequencer (resolution 192ppqn). Two main stereo effects processors, one stereo insert effect, master EQ. SmartMedia storage slot. External power supply. 240 x 64?pixel display. Two main and two auxiliary outputs. Optional EXB?SMPL sampling board. If you start with the rear panel, as I did in time?honoured reviewer fashion, the first thing that strikes you is the blanking plate: a sign that the Le is ready and waiting to accept the optional EXB?SMPL sampling board (sampling was, of course, standard on the Triton). As I also received this board to try, I'll talk about it in more detail later. The Triton's assignable pedal, switch and damper inputs are all present and correct, as are the obligatory three MIDI sockets. Of course, this means that the Le has no floppy drive, which might add a layer of complication if you need to regularly transfer data between the Le and other models. For my money, the SmartMedia slot is an improvement, as it offers a far greater storage capacity than floppies (up to 128Mb) — and if your computer has a SmartMedia interface, it's a great way to pass large amounts of data between them. For me, the more performance tools that are added to synthesizers, the better — so it's a shame the ribbon had to go. Of the other compromises, the Le's display is considerably smaller (240x64) and, like that of the Rack, it lacks the touchscreen functionality. I didn't miss that too much — in fact my one observation about the screen was that it was slightly slow to update in response to movements of the alpha dial. This expandability was a great selling point for Roland with their JV and XP series, and Korg added a similar feature in the Triton and KARMA workstations (two slots) and the Triton Rack (no less than eight slots). Leaving this expandability out of the Le renders it a far more closed system than the Triton.https://ayurvedia.ch/compaq-presario-c700-manual-download The Triton's twin master processors and master EQ section are retained, but the insert effects section has been reduced from five processors to just one. You have the same 32Mb of base ROM waveforms, although this time around Korg have seen fit to program the Le with some far more dance?specific patches. However, music workstations all need a bit of everything, and so you won't be surprised to find a full complement of warm strings, (very) playable electric pianos, superb organs and, frankly, cheesy saxophones (why are they always cheesy?). There are also some truly inspired synth basses, swooshy pads, tons of general synth noises, ethnic instruments, and so on. The Combis are almost complete tracks in themselves, full of movement and (sometimes) kicking, driving arpeggios. Normally, with my synth?purist hat on, I'd be a little snooty about such 'one?finger wonders' — but I challenge anyone not to find their sheer playability infectious. Indeed, I had so much fun, I was in severe danger of missing the review deadline, and, unlike the more complex arpeggiation seen on Korg's KARMA (an instrument which I confess was not my cup of tea), I felt I knew what was going on with the Triton Le and that I was actually in charge of it. You can find more on some of the Combis in the box below. Certainly, as a former Korg M1 owner, I can't help observing that Korg's synthesis has progressed considerably in the last decade. The two filters (a 24dB?per?octave resonant low?pass filter and a 12dB?per?octave low?pass filter plus high?pass filter) might not sound very analogue, but they're not bad all the same. More types would have been nice, however. Great fun! A018: 'Sailing' A034: 'Phases of Angels' Two examples of lush, Wavestation?like textures. A032: 'Soft Piano Pad' — a warm pad and piano layer for those New Age moments. A009: 'Studio Orchestra' — a lovely orchestral collection, featuring strings, brass, and percussion. A028: 'The Guitarist' — someone with better technique than I have could make this one magical. A043: 'Universal Choir' — heaven in a keyboard! My personal gripe with these knobs is that they are too small; I can't understand why Korg have used them so often in their recent synths. Despite this lack of enthusiasm on my part, the user interface is really very easy to navigate — I hardly needed either of the two manuals at all. The former lists patches selected from 16 categories, so you can easily locate any organ, vocal, bass or drum patch in an instant. The latter plays a small, appropriate riff for each patch — something probably of more value on a rack unit than an instrument with its own keyboard. In Program Edit mode, the Category button takes on a slightly different, but equally useful role: it filters the view of available waveforms according to the type you select, making it quicker to find the right basic building block for any patch you want to create. This keeps the panel uncluttered yet pretty intuitive. The other buttons are self?explanatory: sequencer transport controls, bank selection, soft keys positioned under the screen, navigation keys — in fact, everything you'd want (and expect) on an instrument of this type. The two buttons above Korg's joystick controller (see below) are user?programmable, so you can use them to drastically alter or transpose patches, lock the current joystick value, add effects, and so on. They can even be programmed to act momentarily (ie.The Triton was blessed with an impressive array of them: no less than five insert effects, two global effects and a master EQ section. As already mentioned, the Le offers a single stereo insert effect, but keeps the two master effects and EQ. A handy block diagram in the thicker of the two manuals (the Parameter Guide) makes it clear how everything fits together. EQ and compression), Pitch and Phase Modulation effects (chorus and phaser), other Modulation and Pitch effects (rotary speaker and pitch?shifter), Early Reflections and Delays, Reverb, and Mono chain effects (where two effects are connected in series). If the sampling option is installed, the inputs may be routed via the insert effect before sampling, which is very useful. Each track or part has a send level to each of the master effects, and I can't say I ever felt short?changed by the single insert design. Certainly the quality is stunning — every bit as good as what the Triton offers — but if complex multitimbral arrangements are your bag, the additional processing provided by the Triton keyboard or Rack could prove significant. When you think about it, presenting sampling as an optional extra makes a lot of sense. Not everyone needs it in a workstation, but it's great to be able to add later if you change your mind. I always thought I didn't need it in a workstation either — until the Le arrived on my doorstep. Fitting the EXB?SMPL sampling board should take around 10 minutes, and it's straightforward even if you have never done so much as add extra memory or a new soundcard to a computer. First you remove one of the panels on the underside of the synth and then unscrew and remove the blanking plate at the rear. As SCSI connections are also included in the sampling upgrade, it also gives you direct access to external CD?ROM drives, hard disks, and so on. The upgrade is completed by opening the second underside panel and fitting a 16Mb SIMM (supplied with the upgrade) into one of the two available slots. If you wish to upgrade to the full capacity of 64Mb, you'll need to remove this and supply two 32Mb SIMMs of your own. Sadly, there is no option to add Flash RAM or an internal hard disk, although the SmartMedia slot goes some way towards compensating for this. I was pleased to discover that WAV files can be imported from SmartMedia, although if you don't have the sampling option installed, you can't edit them. A range of features such as individual track looping, cue lists (ideal if you like to assemble songs starting with smaller segments) and song templates give you everything you need to hammer together arrangements with the minumum of fuss — and there's not a mouse in sight. As per the Triton, detailed edit functions are provided, and the sequencer can drive external instruments too if you want. There are 150 supplied factory patterns, which are clearly conceived as drum patterns (and much more fun as accompaniment than a boring metronome when recording), and there's space for a further 100 user patterns too, which you can record in either real or step time. The onboard arpeggiators (see box below) sync happily to the song's current tempo, allowing you to either add patterns during song playback or record your efforts directly into the song. Obviously, Korg have had to trim the Triton's features back in order to sell the Le at just over ?1000 (the clear intention being that it will eventually sell at a street price of ?999), and yet the casualties are surprisingly light. At least the SmartMedia slot can be used to store additional programs (complete with their sample data) — but in order to use them you must import the samples first, so it's not quite as instant and convenient as the PCM route. And the loss of four insert effects is no small thing, but at the Le's price, I can't really rate this as a con. I suppose that if you needed sampling from the outset, it makes more sense to stretch your budget for a full Triton but if not, it's great to know it can come later. For those who don't want a computer humming away while they are trying to compose, the sequencer is also good enough to assemble complete tracks, with double the Triton's capacity. I particularly loved the arpeggiators, the effects and the new Programs and Combis. I can happily report that if I were looking for a new workstation, this would be it. With 216 user patterns and five presets available, this is one of the best arpeggiators I have ever used, lacking only a dedicated Latch button to make it perfect. The on?screen graphical editor for user patterns is rather small (and not terribly user?friendly at first), but when you get the hang of it, the patterns you can produce make it all worthwhile. Pros A lot of Triton for your money. Sampling option that also adds SCSI. Sounds superb. The arpeggiators are the business. Cons External power supply. No ribbon controller. None of the Triton's expandability. With the Triton Le, they have done more than release a simplified Triton; they've thrown down a challenge to all-comers for a battle at the lower end of the workstation market. From where I'm sitting, the Triton Le looks like the one to beat. Mastering Essentials Part 3 - How loud should I master? 2 weeks 6 days ago. Mastering Essentials Part 2 1 month 1 week ago.

Subscribe to our free newsletter There are a lot of other boards that are out that can give you way better quality sounds than the Triton LE. The LE just seems to be like a cheap version of some of the Triton sounds and everything seems to be watered down. The sequencer is ok and the on board effects are ok. Not really anything bad to say about them but when it comes to the sounds I have major complaints. UTILIZATION Gettins started is simple and takes not time to understand the basic functions of the board, the manual wasn’t needed and I havent ever seen one. SOUNDS The keys are good, nice semi weighted and they seem to work well even when playing melodies because they arent too heavy. But they still have enough weight to them that you wont feel like your playing with a cheap midi controller (because most midi controllers just have plastic keys). But the sounds just fell short to me because I own a triton board so I know what the Triton is capable of and I know what sounds they really have in them. I guess that’s why the LE is more affordable than the regular triton and the triton rack is because its missing the most important factor to me, the sounds. Most of us don’t purchase a keyboard just for the workstation. We can use our computers as a workstation if needed or if we want. We go out and spend money on these keyboards for the sounds and the ability to edit those sounds and make our own. You can easily change how the sounds will sound and make them your own but the quality of them over all as far as depth and warm just is a miss to me. OVERALL OPINION You can get this if you don’t have enough money to get the “real” triton boards. But you will get bored with this pretty quick. Did you find this review helpful? yes no. If has a nice feel to it when playing, and its semi weighted so you don’t have those heavy keys when trying to play melody lines. UTILIZATION Not easy to address as many parameters, but there are shortcuts to use such copy a Combi Max of 8 tones with their belongings the sequencer. We play in Multi REC and inspiration of the moment is your memory with drum, bass, solo and accompaniment. A big advantage of the Model LE is that it is lightweight 7.3 kg and easy to carry, an additional asset for me playing solo but also in groups. SOUNDS Yes, good expressive sounds at the touch. Just tone down the sounds of piano ties that are not realistic and sound Korg M1. Fortunately with the extension Sampling Can I load sounds Pianos sounds sampled from a Steinway, but it's time to load. I like the sounds of Copper Plates, Strings, Synth Lead and rhythmic Combi (Fantasmagoria, Phases of Angels Talk of Galileo, Hidden Rhythm, Walk Street and many others) OVERALL OPINION I used this for a month, but had already tasted the triton using the micro x.Did you find this review helpful? yes no OVERALL OPINION Un reaplaceable and a great price Originally posted on FutureProducers.com Posted by: Rhyno Beatz (January 0-, 2005) Did you find this review helpful? yes no. It's got plastic on the sides, but stainless steel for the most part of the board. This thing is solid. SOUNDS For the price, you really cant beat the sounds. Plus it's a synth so you can program your own unique sounds. I was really impressed by the strings on this board, the only sounds I didnt like were the sax, but the brass is good. OVERALL OPINION I love this board. I will probably never sell it. If it were stolen though, I'd probably upgrade to a fantom or motif. Originally posted on FutureProducers.com Posted by: AMM0 ( 6-, 2005) Did you find this review helpful? yes no. I use the Triton as a central piece in my studio: sound module, sampler, midi-controller. It has a touch screen, which is extremely handy when it comes to workflow. The slider and wheel can also be used to quick navigate through the menu. I never used the manual to start out with I just jumped right into creating music and later read about further features that might be useful. SOUNDS The sounds are ok on the Triton. To create a unique sound on the triton effects or synthesis can be used. Either one may be very time consuming. There are many sounds that sound similar and for my purposes are not very useful. OVERALL OPINION I bought it used. No repairs. Once or Twice I had some problems when saving a larger sample on a floppy disk but that might have been due to the floppy disk and not the Triton. It is well manufactured and people use it for live gigs so it has to be durable. I would not be making music without it at this point. It has served me as a teaching tool and also as a way to express myself. Originally posted on FutureProducers.com Posted by: PROTator ( 4-, 2006) Did you find this review helpful? yes no. I don't really like the snares I don't know why, I think cause it feels weird without pads I think the fantom set up would be nice pads. Also korg for sure lets you know what you paid for with some off the sounds Price paid 1499 UTILIZATION I think if you read the book and ask people where ever you got it questions it is easy plus once you get this triton down you can basically use anyone Its built very well bullet proff. I've had this for over a year and don't think I've ever had a promblem it SOUNDS The strings are awesome for how much this is. There are a lot of good sounds some you have to tweak to make em sound better. I've made awesome stuff with this. OVERALL OPINION I love it for being my first triton I learn so much off it. I went to the studio and got on there studo triton and almost knew more then the engineer but he really didn't use it that much. I've made over 100 beats with this. Originally posted on FutureProducers.com Posted by: Unknown ( 1-, 2004) Did you find this review helpful? yes no UTILIZATION Not easy for the first time producer.OVERALL OPINION Like it hella build your studio around it.SOUNDS Really good sound. OVERALL OPINION I love it Originally posted on FutureProducers.com Posted by: Cal1 ( 4-, 2006) Did you find this review helpful? yes no. Forget it!! OVERALL OPINION The desing is cool but what really matters most is the sound.They just won't get my ears ringing Originally posted on FutureProducers.com Posted by: Unknown ( 6-, 2003) Did you find this review helpful? yes no. Not bad at all in this department. Reading the manual is not neccessary though. Don't know. No problems but then again I never use it. SOUNDS Okay, Okay so its clean. Electronic sounds and acoustics alike have no warthm whatsoever. Basses do sound good though. This is a stand-alone piece due to the fact that its sounds don't blend well with other synths at all. OVERALL OPINION I don't, but maybe a rookie will. Originally posted on FutureProducers.
